Start new Change

In VIM a new change usually only starts when you leave insert mode (i.e. if you press u for undo, everything in the last insert is reverted). By pressing ctrl+g and then u, you can start a new change while in insert mode. You could even map the return key to do this automatically when you start a new line: :inoremap u (undo will now only undo single lines).

Easy Split Navigation

Use :sp to split the current window in two (:vs for vertical split).

Add the following mapping commands to your .vimrc for easier split navigation.

The following worked with Elastic Cloud, Elasticsearch & Kibana v7.6.0. It should be pretty close for other kinds of deployments. Before starting, make sure you have the right license level that allows SAML.

Create SAML App in GSuite:

• Navigate to the SAML apps section of the admin console
• Click the Add button and choose to "SETUP MY OWN CUSTOM APP"
• Write down the Entity ID and download the Idp metadata file
• Choose application name, description and add logo
• In the "Service Provider Details" screen add the following:

On a recent project, I ran into an issue with Python Selenium webdriver. There's no easy way to open a new tab, grab whatever you need and return to original window opener.

Here's a couple people who ran into the same complication:

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17547473/how-to-open-a-new-tab-using-selenium-webdriver
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6421988/webdriver-open-new-tab/9122450#9122450
• https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/selenium-users/kah4iEPRopc
• ... and many many more.

So, after many minutes (read about an hour) of searching, I decided to do find a quick solution to this problem.

// Simple function to add a menu option to the spreadsheet "Export", for saving a PDF of the spreadsheet directly to Google Drive.
// The exported file will be named: SheetName and saved in the same folder as the spreadsheet.
// To change the filename, just set pdfName inside generatePdf() to something else.

// Running this, sends the currently open sheet, as a PDF attachment
function onOpen() {
  var submenu = [{name:"Save PDF", functionName:"generatePdf"}];
  SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().addMenu('Export', submenu);  
}
